OUR JOURNEY
At SPCC.1, we’re laying the foundation for a new kind of economy—one rooted in shared prosperity, distributed ownership, and regenerative design. We believe the path to economic vitality runs through small and medium-sized businesses, the real engine of our communities. That’s why we’re building a scalable, franchisable model that empowers these businesses to aggregate their power, access capital, and compete for multi-million dollar contracts—together.
We are builders, educators, and system designers with decades of experience across public, private, and philanthropic sectors. Our founding team—Alfredo Mathew III, Alfred Solis, and Amy Chan—brings decades of experience across entrepreneurship, education, community wealth-building, and systems design. We work best with mission-aligned investors, industry leaders, community-based organizations, and entrepreneurs who are ready to co-create the next generation of businesses: ones that are profitable, inclusive, and designed for the long haul.
We’re early in our journey, but clear in our intention: to prove that a distributed, regenerative, and people-powered economy is not only possible—it’s profitable, scalable, and already underway.
